Albert Huey, 12, the grand little straight-shooter of Kenmore, Ohio, had never been more than 30 miles away from home until he went last week to Atlantic City, N. J., and won the marbles championship of the U. S. His rewards: a gold watch, an Indian headdress, blanket, stone tomahawk.

He didn't recognize his own coach, Johnny Behr, who caught him in a blanket. When his shoes were cut away from his swollen and blistered feet it was found that the nails of his big toes had been torn loose from the cuticle. The soles of his feet were bleeding horribly. On the rubbing table his thigh and calf muscles contracted and knotted like wires that have been sustaining a tension...
